Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
The posted limit is 45 mph, but blowing snow sharply reduces visibility. What speed is lawful and safe?
Correct answer: A lower speed that is safe for the actual visibility.
Why
Drive at a reasonable and prudent speed for the actual hazards, even when that is well below the posted limit. Reduced visibility and traction require enough time and distance to respond. The posted maximum does not establish a safe speed for blowing snow.
